Available on Netflix for August 2015

This August, Netflix subscribers can look forward to plenty of new content to watch. However, some favorites will go by the wayside by the end of July, prompting viewers to watch while they can. Among the movies and shows that are disappearing is "Family Ties," featuring Michael J. Fox, as well as "Unbreakable," starring Bruce Willis. War movie buffs will be sad to see the departure of "The Longest Day," a 1962 epic about the D-Day invasion of Normandy that features a stellar cast.

Viewers will be gaining plenty of excellent content, however. War movie fans might be losing out with "The Longest Day," but they will be gaining "The Hurt Locker," which is an examination of courage and defiance in the face of death during the second Iraq war. On August 17, viewers can see Nicolas Cage in "Lord of War." Anglophiles and science fiction geeks can get their fill on August 8 when the "Doctor Who" series becomes available. There is also plenty of material for children.
